+1 A:

If it will always be the patten "t[number][..." you should create a regular expression and replace it that way.

Note that he asked for "the best course of action in replacing it" not "tell me exactly how to write the code to replace it" !

Yes. But, no reason not to go above and beyond. Plus, it's much easier to work out the english from the code, than the reverse.

Answer 2

+3 A:

$("input").each(function() {
  name = $(this).attr("name");
  name = name.replace(/^t\[\d+\]/, "t[your number]");
  $(this).attr("name", name);
});

From the question: *"The 2 could be any number and so I won't necessarily know it when I'm looping."*

Cool. Would also recommend not assuming all names should be processed... :-)

Still, won't work when the 'any number' has more than a single digit.
